The Portkeys LS7P is a rugged 7-inch on-camera monitor featuring 1,000 nits of brightness, HDMI/SDI video input and output ports, and wireless camera control capabilities.
The Portkeys LS7P is a lightweight and rugged 7-inch on camera monitor with powerful wireless camera control capabilities. This monitor is made entirely of aluminum and designed to support filmmakers during their creative journeys, even in the most challenging shooting environments.
The Portkeys LS7P features a 7-inch touchscreen panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. With a maximum brightness of 1,000nits and a contrast ratio of 1000:1, this daylight-viewable monitor is usable in all shooting conditions, whether outdoors under bright sunlight or indoors in a murky studio. Trusting your on-camera monitor's colors and image is essential for making creative decisions on set, which is why the LS7P features a 10-bit (8+2 FRC) panel, and every monitor is factory color-calibrated.
With a weigh of only 409 grams (14.42 ounces) and measuring 176.2 x 103.8 x 39.3 mm (6.93 x 4.08 x 1.54 inches), this monitor is a compact and comfortable choice for camera operators and focus pullers. With a wide viewing angle of 80 Degree from all sides, the display is easy to see, and it comes with two screen protectors to safeguard the touchscreen from accidental damage.
The LS7P features one 4K DCI 30P/1080P60 HDMI input port and one 1080P60 HDMI output port, conveniently located on the bottom left side of the monitor. On the right-hand side of the monitor, you will find 3G-SDI 1080P60 video input and output ports. Additionally, cross-conversion from SDI input to HDMI output is possible, and the monitor supports 3D LUTs for both HDMI and SDI outputs.
At the top of the monitor, you will find four user-assignable buttons that allow you to activate or deactivate your favorite monitor tools quickly. Additionally, there is an on/off switch, a touchscreen lock switch, and a 1/4"-20 mounting point with locating pins. The LS7P also includes two more 1/4"-20 mounting points located on the bottom and right sides, providing filmmakers with multiple options for mounting the monitor. For future firmware updates and loading custom LUTs, a USB-A port is located at the bottom, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Portkeys LS7P monitor can be powered using a single Sony NP-F battery. With a low power draw of just 13W, a single Sony NP-F970 battery can power the monitor for up to 3.5 hours. Additionally, the monitor features a DC 7-24V power input with a locking DC 5.5x2.1mm barrel connector. This allows you to extend the monitor's usage time by powering it via a V-Mount or Gold Mount battery using the included D-TAP to screw-in DC power cable.
Furthermore, the LS7P features a patented design that includes a built-in Sony NP-F power output dummy battery plate. This rotatable battery plate can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically. It also offers power pass-through capabilities (8V/10W), enabling you to connect and power a wireless video receiver directly at the back of the LS7P. This design allows for a sleek and minimalist setup.
